Nintendo Switch: What a Netflix-like Virtual Console Could Look Like

YouTube channel, TheBitBlock, made a conceptual video of what a subscription-based virtual console could look like on the Nintendo Switch. About 2 years ago, I wrote a similar article on the topic of Nintendo doing this as their virtual console format going forward and TheBitBlock hit the nail on the head and was able to detail exactly what I envisioned at that time. Out of the big three, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, Nintendo easily has one of the best backlogs in gaming history. They also have the platforms that would be considered appealing enough to buy into an idea like this. Check out the video below to see how this concept could be actualized.

Thinking about having NES, SNES, N64, GameCube and Wii games, or even games from Sega’s catalog, at your fingertips on-demand is awfully exciting. Being able to get them more frequently similarly to how Netflix updates their service could bode well for everyone interested – especially Nintendo.

Nia has been gaming for about as long as she could hold a controller. Growing up with experiences like Super Mario Bros 1 – 3, The Legend of Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Streets of Rage, she was bound to blossom into the lovely specimen you see before you. She loves the classics but will play anything that requires buttons, a d-pad, or analog sticks. She hopes to one day leave her mark on the gaming industry as it has helped impact the person she is today.
